A man is forced to examine his headlong dive into chemically induced oblivion when he starts dragging someone else along with him in this independent
drama.
Dorian (
Kirk Harris) is a gifted surgeon who has a severe problem outside the operating room -- he is an alcoholic and cocaine abuser who is quickly losing his grip on his habit. Stumbling from all-night benders and reckless sexual escapades into surgery,
Dorian's habits have begun to worry his on-and-off girlfriend,
Megan (
Laurie Baranyay), and even his drug dealer,
Teddy (
Eric Roberts).
Megan introduces
Dorian to her close friend
Anna (
Camilla Overbye Roos), who recently lost her son in an auto accident.
Anna immediately falls for
Dorian and willingly follows him into his netherworld of decadence, but before long,
Dorian begins to see where his lifestyle is taking both
Anna and himself, and he realizes they both need to change before it's too late.
Intoxicating was scripted by leading-man
Kirk Harris and was adapted from a story written by
Harris and director
Mark David.
